The Swede was Real Madrid’s last signing of the summer window, arriving from Racing Louisville to add a true defensive midfield presence to the side. She started in Madrid’s last match against Athletic Bilbao and has looked quite comfortable with Las Blancas so far.
Freja played the full ninety minutes in the friendly against Belgium, but was unable to help her side to victory, losing 2-1, with Matilda Vinberg scoring for Sweden and Lisa Petry and Jarne Teulings netting for Belgium.

Lorena Navarro was another Madrid player called up to their respective U23 team. Spain faced Italy today at 18:00 local time (12:00 ET), but there is no information available on what happened. Although we know that Spain won 1-0, there is no lineup data yet, so it is unclear if Lorena was included.
